I wanted to experiment with cartooning so I picked up one of Steve Barr's books. It was very simple. In fact, too simple. I can't draw anything really but this book was only slightly helpful. I started with his fun objects books. Well, making a hot dog and adding a face is pretty basic stuff. Or a triangle is a piece of cake. Pretty basic, a 5 year old could make this stuff. Not only simple, but the end product is boring.

So, I decided to try his drawing people book. Again, more suited to kids ages 5-9.

There isn't much in the middle ground. The books out there are too simple or way too complicated so this is probably an OK compromise. But you can easily find this book for $2 used---and not used much.

我想尝试一下漫画，所以我拿起了史蒂夫-巴尔的一本书。这本书非常简单。事实上，太简单了。我真的什么都不会画，但这本书只是有点帮助。我从他的有趣的物体书开始。好吧，做一个热狗并加上一个脸是很基本的东西。或者一个三角形也是小菜一碟。非常基本，一个5岁的孩子都可以做这个东西。不仅简单，而且最终产品也很无聊。

所以，我决定试试他的画人书。同样，更适合于5-9岁的孩子。

在中间地带没有什么东西。外面的书都太简单或太复杂，所以这可能是一个还不错的折衷方案。但是你可以很容易地找到这本2美元的二手书---而且不怎么用。
